Semonto: Server Monitoring Tool - Web-Based Server Monitoring Service

[prMac.com] Ghent, Belguim - CodingMammoth today is pleased to announce Semonto, their web-based server monitoring service that immediately notifies the user should any of their servers go off-line or display anomalous behavior. Notifications may be received via email, SMS, Twitter, Apple push notifications, etc. In addition, by registering for a Semonto account users may access free iOS and OS X apps to check their server's current status, review their server's statistics (ping minimum, maximum, and average), view test results (connectivity, load, memory usage, MySQL-checks, disk usage, etc.), and perform advanced diagnostics. Semonto also provides free reports including tables and graphs to display server performance over time. Configured as Software as a Service (SAAS), the Semonto monitoring system requires neither any software be installed on the user's server, nor any programs be running in the background that could affect server operation.

Semonto has multiple test servers at various locations around the globe. Users can choose which test server is assigned to check their host. It is possible to select a different test server for every host, allowing webmasters to test the connectivity to their host from several countries. The company offers more than 15 default tests that provide all the basic measures of host server performance. For those requiring additional data, users may create their own custom tests written in PHP, or download optional tests from the company's website.

Semonto can email or text message the user the exact warning or error message when a check fails. Audible iPhone or Mac alerts may also be configured. Semonto provides three different kinds of reports. First, is a real-time report giving the current status of the user's host. Second, is a historical report giving the details of all tests performed over a specified time and a general overview of the test results. Third, is a log report available for each server that contains every alert message ever sent, together with detailed information. Users can access specific values on a per year, month, day, or even per hour basis. All data may also be viewed in graph form to easily spot problems or trends over time.

* Receive an immediate alert message whenever a server goes off-line
